In World War II, the Home Guard was comprised of approximately 1.5 million British volunteers who were ineligible for military service. This was usually due to their age (which is why they were also referred to as ‘Dad’s Army’) and their role was to guard important places such as Britain’s airfields, factories and explosives stores.

Just like the Home Guard, this resin soldier‘s job is to stay home and protect. Your important and cherished books will be safe from the threat of overly heavy novels, excessive space, slamming doors and inquisitive little fingers!

The Home Guard Bookend by Suck UK is available in Australia from Shop Until for $59.95 each. We just love it!
